I love taking my small dog Luna to this park. She love to run along the trails. It’s literally perfect.!!! They have trails all around and it’s super spacious for her to run around. We run into other small dogs from time to time but overall it’s a great place to walk and have some fun with your pup. Plenty of parking, and the atmosphere is always friendly.

Nice little urban park, spotted a lot of wildflowers. Paved trail makes for a good open walk. Hiking trail is short but by the river and pretty. A 1 mile paved two way trail along the loop road with plenty of parking will make for a nice run. Park is by major roads so the hiking won't necessarily be quiet. We didn't spot any fish in the rouge river so not sure about fishing prospects but there's a bridge over the river.

I've enjoyed going to this park for the past couple of weeks. It's beautiful, spacious, and favorite for many birders. Thanks to Leonard Weber, I've been able to see so many things I wouldn't have been able to notice on my own, and I've learned so much about bird nesting habits! It's also a nice place to walk your dog, but please pick up after them! The giant weaved wooden statues are also pretty cool to see. Highly recommend!

I was trying to get to my friend's house and discovered that Fenkel was closed, so I did a turn around in this park I had never been to before. I'm so glad I did! I found this amazing installation, and saw lots of folks playing what looked field hockey. Got it and took some pics. Nice park. Good parking. I'll definitely go back.

Since I moved to Detroit I’ve been looking for a good nature trail in the city. This is the best I’ve encountered yet. I plan to go back and hike the whole thing.
